OpenAI's Deep Research Launch
OpenAI introduced Deep Research, an AI tool designed for generating detailed reports, targeting professionals in fields such as finance and engineering, and offering extensive research capabilities. Available for $200 per month to ChatGPT Pro subscribers with a limit of 100 queries, this tool assists users in obtaining thorough and reliable information that goes beyond quick responses. Users are provided with a sidebar summary of the research process, allowing for a clearer understanding of the citations and sources used. However, OpenAI cautioned that the tool is not infallible and may occasionally fabricate facts or struggle to differentiate between credible information and rumors.
